Since I'm Italian, I hope you won't mind my mistakes in English... I think this song is about someone who started a new relationship knowing that somehow it could be dangerous to trust the other one. But ignoring that feeling, she has given all herself to that man and then she comes undone.
She tries to justify herself saying that even if she knew he'd have destroyed her, she couldn't hide anywhere because there's no way to run away from love.
She says that she's learnt her lesson, that next time she'll be able to tell good from wrong but she knows she's lying because once you're in love, you know nothing anymore. She says that no matter how experienced she thinks she is, books and previous experiences won't be useful... Because they never taught her how to live happily and how to let go the things that made her life sad.
